Abstract
The invention concerns a scintillation detector with which high count rates and/or high resolutions are possible. The scintillator of the claimed scintillation detector is formed from pixels (), which are separated from each other by interstices (). Alternatively or additionally, the surface of the scintillator is divided by grooves into pixels (). Such a structure enables not only a particularly high resolution. When multiple detector modules are used, it also allows high count rates in the range of roughly 20 MHz.
